How is play essential for meaningful learning experiences? How can we implement play in our educational system? And what tools can we use to understand if we are doing a good job?

In our new Learning Inspired conversation, Rosan Bosch talks to Bo Stjerne Thomsen, one of the leading experts at the LEGO Foundation, on the ways play can motivate and give more profound learning experiences. Based on research and insights from neuroscience, he explores what characterizes playful experiences and how play can develop not only knowledge but also the skills most important now and in the future.

The conversation is in English with Spanish subtitles.
